Please tell us where to apply your donation, whether to Letha’s Youth Outdoors Fund, to where it is most needed (INPS General Fund), to a Florathon team sponsorship, or to the Program Facilitator Fund. Donations to the General Fund, Letha’s Fund, and Facilitator Fund can be designated in honor or memory of a specific person.

Payment can be by credit/debit card, PayPal account, or check.

Shine Foundation Match Completed

In 2024, the Indiana Native Plant Society received a three-year grant from the Sam Shine Foundation, enabling us to hire a contract position to support a variety of INPS programs. A substantial part of the contract called for the development of an Indiana “plants of concern” community science monitoring program in partnership with the Indiana Plant Conservation Alliance (INPCA) and the Indiana Natural Heritage Data Center (INHDC) at the Indiana Department of Natural Resources – Division of Nature Preserves (DNP). The remainder of the grant funds provided operational support for crucial INPS programs such as stewardship, educational initiatives, and more.

The match obligation was completed by May 31, 2025, and our program leaders have enjoyed enhanced capacity through the excellent assistance of Jill Casey, our Program Facilitator. We are continuing to raise funds for her contract position, and we welcome your participation.
